The ATC uplink function for altitude is always enabled. For immediate clearances,
pushing the datalink ACCEPT switch displays the clearance altitude value in the
lower line of the window. Pushing the transfer (XFR) switch transfers the value
from the lower line to the upper line. Pushing the datalink CNCL switch removes
the clearance from the lower line.
For conditional clearances, pushing the ACCEPT switch displays the new altitude
value automatically in the lower line only after the clearance condition is met.
Uplinked clearances are preceded by the letters "UL".
